NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS 

Students who are not residents of Leicester are eligible to apply for admission to LHS’s CTE Programs for the Fall of 2026.  All entering students in Grade 9 will be enrolled in an Exploratory class where Students have the opportunity to experience each of the CTE programs for a short period of time.  Upon completion of the Exploratory Course, Students will select the Program they wish to enroll in.  Space is limited in each Shop (depending on the program).  If there are more students interested in entering a Shop, than seats available, a lottery will be held to determine which Students will be enrolled.  Please be aware that residents of Leicester who meet the minimum admission requirements will be admitted before any non-residents seeking the same program. Students and families can find information on the Chapter 74 Nonresident Student Tuition Program online.
